KV 8400 22" Side Mount Full Extension Drawer Slide Ebony Black Polybag Knape and Vogt 8400P EB 22

Black Finish, Full-Extension Performance

The Knape and Vogt 8400 Series 22 inch drawer slide is a full-extension, ball-bearing side-mount slide in Ebony Black — built for shop drawers, dark-interior cabinetry, and utility installations where the finish needs to disappear into the cabinet as much as the hardware needs to perform.

Key Features

• Full extension brings the entire drawer out to the cabinet face, so every inch of storage at the back is reachable.
• 100 lb weight capacity per pair handles loaded tool drawers, shop supplies, and utility pulls without strain.
• Hold-in anti-rebound detent keeps the drawer securely closed until pulled, and prevents it from bouncing back open after a firm push.
• Ball-bearing movement delivers smooth, consistent travel in both directions under load.
• Ebony Black steel finish suits dark-interior cabinets, black melamine boxes, and shop or office casework where standard zinc would stand out.
• Non-handed design means the same slide fits left and right with no handed ordering to manage.

Where the 22 Inch Length and Black Finish Do Their Best Work

A 22 inch slide length suits a cabinet with roughly 22 inches of usable interior depth — a common dimension in standard base cabinets and shop storage units. Paired with full extension, that means the drawer clears the cabinet opening completely, which matters when you are reaching for parts at the back of a deep shop drawer or pulling tools from a utility cabinet without digging.

The Ebony Black finish makes this slide the right call in two specific situations: cabinets with black or very dark interior panels where a zinc slide reads as a bright stripe against the box side, and shop or garage builds where the hardware finish is part of the aesthetic — workbenches, modular shop systems, and cabinetry spec'd to match dark powder-coated equipment. The hold-in anti-rebound detent adds practical value in mobile or vibration-prone environments, where drawers that bounce back open are a recurring nuisance.

Steel Construction in a Finish That Stays Put

The 8400 Series runs on steel ball-bearing members with 1/2 inch side clearance per slide — the standard telescopic side-mount geometry that fits the drawer box 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening. The Ebony Black finish is applied over the steel members; it is a functional, durable coating, not a decorative foil. Inside a working cabinet, it holds up through years of cycling without the contrast issues a bright finish creates against a dark box.

This is a standard steel side-mount slide, rated for dry indoor installations. It is not a stainless or corrosion-resistant product — for washdown or moisture-heavy environments, the stainless program is the right choice.

Who Reaches for the Black Version

Cabinet shops building dark-interior melamine or thermally fused laminate boxes often spec the black version to keep the hardware visually consistent with the box. Furniture makers building media consoles, office credenzas, and entertainment units with dark interiors reach for it for the same reason. Shop builders who want a cohesive look on a workbench or tool-storage build — where everything else is black powder coat — find the 8400 in black an easy match. Contractors running utility cabinetry in mechanical rooms or server closets use it where the cabinet interior is already dark and a zinc slide would create unnecessary visual noise. Sold as a poly-pack pair, each bag includes a pair of slides ready to install.

Common Questions

Finish the Build Without the Visual Mismatch

When the cabinet interior is dark and the slide needs to keep up with the rest of the build, the Knape and Vogt 8400 in Ebony Black is the slide that fits — 100 lb capacity, full extension, and a finish that works with the box instead of against it.
